The headword phrase 'empty of light', here in the genitive plural, is commonly used by grammarians to derive
gno/fos or
kne/fas "darkness"; the latter derivation already occurs in
Plutarch,
Moralia [
De primo frigido] 948E, citing
Chrysippus fr.430. The lexicographers' phrase itself is believed to come from Attic tragedy:
Adespota fr.219* Snell & Kannicht.
